Dissection of the elbows revealed that tendon of the humerotriceps tendon was attached to the ventral side of the proximal ulna instead of wrapping over the caudal aspect of the elbow. It is not clear if this is a congenital malformation or if the tendon slipped out of the groove. The way it inserts on the ulna, it looks like a developmental anomaly.
In it's current orientation, it was preventing extension of the elbow.

The elbow had good ROM once the tendon was cut. Have turned both elbows over to the beetles so we can get a good look at the bones.

Wing is very stiff and at an unusual angle. The radius fracture is more chronic that we originally thought. This could have happened during PT at some point. The radiograph from Saturday doesn't reflect the stiffness of the wing at the elbow. Regardless, the prognosis is very poor.

Anesthetized with iso via mask. Euthanized with 1.0 cc pentobarb IC.

Took radiograph of right wing under 2% ISO via mask, proximal radius is fractured. On exam it is very swollen but stable. There is also a fresh bloody area on edge of propatagium above elbow. Looks as if his has been picking out the new feathers in the area. Put wing in figure 8 and stopped PT until further evaluated. Moved to R14d (R12A And C were too dirty)

Changed treatment plan to include Enro, Melox, and Tram

PT without anesthesia. Was able to reach full ROM fairly quickly but it was initially very stiff. The wing just feels off but I cannot tell exactly what the issue is. The elbow is a little thickened.

Very tight at elbow, difficult to extend much at first. Tiny pop felt. Acheived a bit more ROM after this. Still unable to acheive full ROM, but improved throughout PT. Will schedule daily for a while to keep him moving.

Was getting weighed and Lindy noticed right wing held at odd angle.
Very poor extension ( less than 90 degrees) at elbow.


Anesthetized with iso via mask for rad. VD view WNL. Did PT was able to get better extension but not sure where the problem is. The elbow is too undeveloped to see a boney anomaly at this point.

Will do PT SID for awhile and see what happens. Prognosis is poor. And he is not gaining weight despite having leftovers.
